Narodniks

The Narodniks (Russian: народники, romanized: narodniki, pronounced [nɐˈrodʲnʲɪkʲɪ]) were members of a movement of the Russian Empire intelligentsia in the 1860s and 1870s, some of whom became involved in revolutionary agitation against tsarism. Their ideology, known as Narodism, Narodnism or Narodnichestvo (Russian: народничество; from народ (narod) 'people, folk', similar to the German volk), was a form of agrarian socialism, though it is often misunderstood as populism.^[1]^[2]

The khozhdeniye v narod (хождение в народ; meaning 'going to the people') campaigns were the central impetus of the Narodnik movement.^[3] The Narodniks were in many ways the intellectual and political forebears and, in notable cases, direct participants of the Russian Revolution—in particular of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, which went on to greatly influence Russian history in the early 20th century.
